Stochastic gravitational-wave background from metastable cosmic strings

A metastable cosmic-string network is a generic consequence of many grand unified theories (GUTs) when combined with cosmic inflation. Metastable cosmic strings are not topologically stable, but decay on cosmic time scales due to pair production of GUT mon ...

A hybrid control strategy for force and precise end effector positioning of a twisted string actuator

Jamie Paik, Andres San Millan Rodriguez

We propose a new control approach for the twisted string actuation (TSA) system; a hybrid control scheme consisting of two nested loops, considering the motor angle and the axial force at the clamping point of the actuator as the system outputs. We show th ...

Synthesis of Flexible Accelerators for Early Adoption of Ring-LWE Post-quantum Cryptography

Francesco Regazzoni, Subhadeep Banik, Hamid Nejatollahi

The advent of the quantum computer makes current public-key infrastructure insecure. Cryptography community is addressing this problem by designing, efficiently implementing, and evaluating novel public-key algorithms capable of withstanding quantum comput ...

Discrete Time Analysis of Phase Detector Linear Range Extension in Sub-Sampling PLL

Yusuf Leblebici, Duygu Kostak

The discrete time analysis of the phase detector linear range extension in the first and the second order sub sampling phase-locked loop (SSPLL) is presented. The aim is to understand how much the stability and the pull-in range are affected by the linear ...

Modelling of the FPS for the internal coils and investigating controller discretization effects in TCV

The tokamak in Lausanne, Switzerland (TCV), has been designed to investigate highly elongated plasmas. The elongation improves performance but also introduces a vertical position instability which requires active feedback control to stabilize. The potentia ...

UWB-based system for UAV Localization in GNSS-Denied Environments: Characterization and Dataset

Dario Floreano, Fabrizio Schiano

Small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have penetrated multiple domains over the past years. In GNSS-denied or indoor environments, aerial robots require a robust and stable localization system, often with external feedback, in order to fly safely. Motion ca ...

An adaptive primal-dual framework for nonsmooth convex minimization

Volkan Cevher, Quoc Tran Dinh, Ahmet Alacaoglu

We propose a new self-adaptive and double-loop smoothing algorithm to solve composite, nonsmooth, and constrained convex optimization problems. Our algorithm is based on Nesterov’s smoothing technique via general Bregman distance functions. It self-adaptiv ...

Hardware-in-the-loop Validation of the Grid Explicit Congestion Notification Mechanism for Primary Voltage Control in Active Distribution Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Mario Paolone, Marco Pignati, Konstantina Christakou, Styliani Sarri, Roman Rudnik

The Grid Explicit Congestion Notification control mechanism (GECN) is a broadcast-based real-time demand- response mechanism designed for primary voltage control in Active Distribution Networks (ADNs) [1,2]. An extensive set of off-line simulations has ind ...

Distributed Modifier-Adaptation Schemes for the Real-Time Optimization of Interconnected Systems in the Presence of Structural Plant-Model Mismatch

Dominique Bonvin, René Uwe Schneider, Predrag Milosavljevic

The desire to operate chemical processes in a safe and economically optimal way has motivated the development of so-called real-time optimization (RTO) methods [1]. For continuous processes, these methods aim to compute safe and optimal steady-state set ...

Real Time Hybrid Model Predictive Control for the Current Profile of the Tokamak a Configuration Variable (TCV)

Stefano Coda, Jean-Marc Moret, Hoang Bao Le

Plasma stability is one of the obstacles in the path to the successful operation of fusion devices. Numerical control-oriented codes as it is the case of the widely accepted RZIp may be used within Tokamak simulations. The novelty of this article relies in ...
